Trying to store multi-size pots and pans in your kitchen while keeping them close to your range can require some creative thinking.
These pot and pan storage ideas will inspire you to find clever ways of organizing your pots and pans.
1. Take stock of your inventory. If you have old, outdated pots that you no longer use, it’s time to get rid of these. This will allow you more space for the cookware that you use daily.
2. Any special cookware that is used only during the holiday season does not have to be stored alongside your regularly used pots and pans. This specialty cookware is usually bulky, or heavy and can be stored elsewhere like a pantry, or even a utility closet or garage. Should you decide to get rid of the seldom used cookware, you can always borrow from your neighbors, friends, or family.
3. Vertical storage can save space in cabinets, such as ceiling or hanging pot racks. Display your cookware, as part of your kitchen design!
4. A peg board is also a creative solution for hanging your pots and pans if you have wall space in your kitchen. You can make it aesthetically pleasing by adding other touches, such as cutting boards, or another décor.
5. Move pots and pans storage to the island if your cabinets are all full. If you don’t have a built-in island, a kitchen cart can also work nicely. Dedicate an open shelf to cookware storage and nest several pots together to save space. You can also flip the lids upside-down on the pots to create a flatter surface that allows for stacking.
6. If you are fortunate to have deep drawers in your kitchen, save this space for your cookware and lids. If you’re renovating a kitchen, installing some bigger drawers is always a good idea.
7. If you lack the space to store your pots and pans, why not use the range and the toe-kick drawer underneath for storage? This can be burdensome if you use your range frequently as you will have to empty it out before starting it. However, this can be a short-term solution or a place to store overflow or larger not frequently used cookware.
We all need pots and pans in our kitchen, but there are ways to access these easier or even showcase it. The key, however, is to keep what you use the most and to get rid of what is not working anymore. An organized kitchen is critical for a smooth and efficient cooking process, make your kitchen space work for you.
